Moreover, synthetic fragrances are less expensive as compared to natural fragrances. 

Natural Versus Synthetic Ingredients

Parameters

Natural Ingredients

Synthetic Ingredients

Definition

  • Natural ingredients are the ones, which are produced from or are present in nature
  • They are readily available in nature and do not require much processing before use
  • These may include animal, plant, mineral or microbial ingredients
  • They are grown, raised, harvested, and processed in an ecological manner
  • They are not genetically engineered and do not contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
  • Synthetic or artificial ingredients are tailor made in the laboratories by mixing various chemicals together
  • Proper processing facilities need to be set up for their production
  • A synthetic ingredient is nothing but a chemical, which can be obtained by processing petroleum or paper pulp
  • It serves as an alternative to ingredients which are either not available in nature or as an ecological alternative to the natural ones
 

Sources

  • Natural ingredients include flavoring agents and fragrances occurring in nature
  • These ingredients are found in fruits or fruit juices, spices, vegetables or vegetable juices, edible yeast, herbs, meats, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermented products
  • They can also be essence or extracts from flowers, barks, root, leaf or similar plant material
  • Synthetic ingredients are artificially formulated through various chemical reactions
  • Many times, natural substances also may be chemically or genetically modified through human skills to yield ingredients, which show enhanced properties than the pre-reaction substances
  • Petroleum or paper pulp can be chemically processed to obtain these products
 

Price

  • These ingredients are costlier than the synthetic ones owing to their limited availability and limited regional presence
  • As their demand is higher than the supply, the prices are high
  • Synthetic ingredients can be produced in bulk, thus are cheaper than the natural ones

Esters accounted for a share of 30.5% in the global aroma chemicals market for flavors & fragrances in 2022. Esters are the chemicals which are naturally found in fruits & vegetables or are made synthetically by reacting carboxylic acids and alcohols together in a condensation reaction. Esters have a pleasant odor and are responsible for different types of aromas such as jasmine, roses, apples, bananas, strawberries, etc. Owing to this unique property, they are used in the perfumes as well as other flavoring & fragrance industries, and can also be implied as fixatives, and carrier solvents. However, the unsaturated esters have stronger odor than the saturated ones. 

Aldehydes are formed owing to partial oxidation of primary alcohols to form carboxylic acids when they are furthermore oxidized, aldehydes differ in term of structure bond angles and smell. Aldehydes aroma relies on the structure and the size of the bond. The most common type of aldehydes used in the fragrance and the flavor industry is fatty aldehydes which tend to have a very pleasant odor with a fruity or floral scent which is detected even in very low conditions.
